I also assumed that some place of ASoC framework checks this property. For this I looked into HDMI codec driver(sound/soc/codecs/hdmi-codec.c) and relevant interfaces of ASoC framework.
But I couldn't find it. :( Could you let me know which code of ASoC framework checks this? I saw this property only in 'snd_soc_of_get_dai_name' and 'snd_soc_of_get_dai_link_codecs' functions but seems these functions aren't called by the HDMI codec driver.
